Simple Run Blocker v1.5

Simple Run Blocker (SRB) is portable freeware created to simplify the process of blocking applications from being used. This can come in handy, for example, to prevent children from using certain programs. SRB offers a ‘drag and drop’ ease of use not found in most other tools of this type. You can drag an executable to the SRB window and it will automatically be blocked. SRB also features a “white list” mode, which blocks all executables except your specifically approved applications.

Block all except the List below undo problem: The problem arose from running “Simple Run Blocker” without first extracting it, and then selecting “Block all except the List below”. This is not the correct usage of SRB, but users keep doing it. To avoid this, we have copied Simple Run Blocker to Program Files and created a desktop shortcut (only if you select “Block All Except the List Below” feature). You can control this by editing the RunBlock.ini file:CopyToProgramFiles=1 (Default. as described above)CopyToProgramFiles=0 (Disables the shortcut creation feature)
If you choose second or third features, the Simple Run Blocker folder and the Shortcut will automatically be deleted. You can control this by changing the following values:RemoveFromProgramFiles=1 (Default. usage as described above)RemoveFromProgramFiles=0 (Disables the auto removing feature)

How To Use It:
1. Extract the ZIP file to the folder of your choice, then run RunBlock.exe. Select the programs you wish to block. You can add them easily by dragging and dropping the .exe into the window, or by clicking the “Add” (blue plus sign) button

To delete a program in the list, select it and then click the “Delete” (red minus sign) button, or press the Delete key on your keyboard. To select all listed items, press the Shift key, select the first item, then then press the “End” key on your keyboard (or down arrow) then press Delete. Remember to use the ‘Save Settings’ button to confirm your changes. The following keyboard shortcuts are also supported:
